Discuss Digest, Vol 35, Issue 8

[Mark Woodward]

What you want to do is pretty easy if you know what you are looking for.

Hosting multiple web sites from the same IP is trivial if they are 
hosted on the same machine. Google for "apache mass hosting."

If you want to host different web-sites on different computers, but on 
the same IP, that a bit more difficult. You need to answer requests on a 
specific machine on a specific IP, but you can use Linux LVS or Nginx to 
answer the requests, analyze the request line and direct it to the 
correct server for the operation.
